Livity

In 2026, Livity celebrates its 25th anniversary. Our journey from a grassroots youth culture agency “with a youth club in the middle” in Brixton to a global creative force is a testament to the enduring power of our founding mission: to create a more equitable future for, and with, young people. Decades before “purpose” became a central tenet of the marketing industry, Livity was pioneering a radical model where young people weren’t just the target audience; they were the architects. Over a quarter-century, we have moved from simply giving youth a “voice” to giving them agency, equity, and ownership. Our lifetime impact is measurable: since 2001, we have directly engaged over 100,000 young people, tackling the most pressing issues of the era, from the first waves of social media safety to the modern-day mental health crisis and violence affecting young people. We’ve worked across the entire Creative and Digital ecosystem to train over 1,000 young people and unlock entry level roles for young people from minority backgrounds - from Google to Publicis to the UK Government and many more. We are not just an agency that “does” purpose; we are an agency built on the belief that when you give young people the tools to shape their world, everyone wins. So why in 2026 are we deserving of The Purpose Awards Agency of the Year recognition? Here’s a snapshot of what we’ve been doing over the last 12 months.
